Pros
Great engineering staff with inspirational architects and AI visionaries, plus some really excellent data devs. At one time, had a solid and empathetic culture based on collaboration and helpfulness. Excellent CISO who is tough but fair and cares about the balance of security with practicality.
Cons
After 3 layoffs in 2 years time, and the third major product pivot in the same timeframe, the morale of everyone left in the very small engineering team was nil. Every man for himself became the rule, collaboration went out the window in favor of chasing the AI hypewagon to make an AI sales agent that hit the uncanny valley hard. Meanwhile abandoning the hard work of integrating Salesforce data into a bidirectional data pipeline and a sellable data product, which is actually the one thing of value they engineered once, re-engineered again, and then ... re-engineered a third time, this time with vibe coding, and little care taken for the details. As AI coding took over, QA became a bottleneck, and the solution Vivun execs chose was to ask engineers to do all of their own QA. But the QA team still controlled when the product could release or not. This created huge choke points and traffic jams. Engineers who were socially connected could deliver quickly through those jams by using QA friendships; others were left in the cold with aging pull requests left unexamined.
